Hello and welcome!
Today is a brand new challenge at Just Us Girls, hosted by Nancy!
Here are the colors she has chosen:
This month our guest artist is Shawna Standish! Be sure to see hers and the whole teams creations for inspiration - HERE.
Here's a closer look at the sparkle:
I heat embossed the image from Creative Expressions "Butterfly Blooms" in white then used my gel plate to add Distress Inks to it, smoothing it out with a brayer. When it dried, I used Zigs Clean Color Markers to color parts of the image. Next, I used Cosmic Shimmer Ultra Sparkle paste on the image after coloring it with Zigs.
Here's a photo of a panel that has just been made with the gel press and the finished card with the added Zigs and sparkle. You can see how much more vivid the one on the right is.
After it dried, I used a dotted oval die to cut it out and added it to a card base. I added gray enamel dots to it, then added a heat embossed sentiment from MFT stamps.
I have linked my supplies below if you are interested in them.
And here's one last view:
I hope you have a chance to play along!
